Lancashire Cop Let Off After Tazering An Innocent Blind Man

Sir Robin Malarky CBE PIE

Today we learn that following an incident involving a presumably partially sighted Lancashire copper tazering a 64 year  old  blind man after supposidly confusing his thin white cane with a curved samurai sword.  The unlikely tale that we are supposed to believe is that the copper responsible for this attrocity thought at the time that a blind man walking away from him posed a threat to the public.

If and it is a big if, he managed to confuse a samurai sword with a thin whie cane carried by a blind old man the clearly his judgement is called into question as is his resort to potentially lethal force in short order. Minor by comparison but equally as abhorent is handcuffing the gentleman for a period afterwards when it must clearly have become blindingly obvious that the chap did not have a large sword about his person.

To quote the Assistant Chief Constable excuse maker Tim Jacques.

“The officer made a dreadful mistake when he discharged his Taser, but was acting on a reasonable and honestly held belief that his actions were necessary to protect the public. The officer did not perform his duties to a satisfactory standard but we did not feel that this amounted to gross incompetence.

“In addition to the findings relating to the individual officer this investigation has raised a number of issues for the Constabulary to consider including the training given to officers carrying Taser.”

“In addition to the findings relating to the individual officer this investigation has raised a number of issues for the Constabulary to consider including the training given to officers carrying Taser.”

The officer will be issued with a Written Improvement Notice and be required to demonstrate specific performance improvements over a set timescale.  Additionally the officer has expressed considerable regret over this incident and arrangements will be made for him to offer a personal apology to Mr Farmer.

Full excuses and apologies Lancashire Constabulary

Whilst it is always good to see wrongdoers apologise the response of the force which is investigating itself in this matter  is just not good enough, it is unlikely that this will make any difference in respect of  future transgressions, thus the public are not assured.

Back in  Blighty – A disabled innocent  member of the public through no fault of his own , it might be you next time, has been brutaly assaulted, injured  and traumatised with a potentially deadly weapon in the hands of a man in fancy dress demonstrating at the very least exceptionally poor judgement, abuse of authority and contempt for his fellow man. Hardly what one might expect from a chap tasked with keeping the peace.

The response of the constable seems over the top and even irrational, might stress or training be a factor ? We have seen similar cases across the UK it is increasingly apparent that a them and us divide is appearing between the incrementally militarised police and the public.

Is this being engineered ? as the result of working conditions or some external factor or even a combination of all of the above.

Here is a response by the Lancashire Constabulary to a pair of vicious dogs which were seemingly secure in a house after having attacked a teenage boy.

Thirty police officers, an arsenal of guns and a lion expert… all to catch two dangerous dogs

More than 30 police officers in riot gear surround a suburban house. Some are carrying rifles.

But this was not a deadly stand-off with an armed gang or a lone gunman.

Instead the huge police operation was aimed at two dogs. It went on for 30 hours and is estimated to have cost £30,000.

The police seem to have been stricken by virulent institutional disfunction.

1) Stress

MORE than 16,000 working days were lost by Lancashire police officers during the past five years due to stress-related sickness.

Figures released by the force revealed almost 300 individual officers took time off work between April 2008 and March 2013 because of illnesses associated with stress.  Police – Why Are Levels of Sickness Increasing ?

2) The Tetra microwave radio system and its detremental  effects on health, cognative impairment being just one of many.

Why are nearly all police constables unaware of this report ?

Why has government failed to act in the best interests of those who protect them ?

3) Training and discipline.

This may seem a little harsh but I shall use the Waffen SS who “only obeyed orders” to illustrate the point and indicate the dangerous slippery slope we are already well down.

Atrocities and combat reputation of the Waffen-SS

Waffen-SS membership totalled several hundreds of thousands of men, and any generalisation is fatuous. The Waffen-SS committed atrocities both on and off the battlefield. So occasionally did the Allied armies of World War II; and so, for that matter, have Western armies since 1945.

The record of the Waffen-SS in some ways resembles certain of those post-war colonial atrocities in that they too were the result of combat stress allied with a total contempt for the human qualities of the enemy and his civilian population.

But in the Waffen-SS this contempt was deliberately fostered as a matter of ideology. While some atrocities were the work of individuals or small groups acting in the heat of the moment, as will happen in any army, in any war, there are plentiful instances of major atrocities carried out by large units, on superior orders, as a matter of policy. We know that Allied units sometimes shot prisoners also.  http://ww2-weapons.com/Armies/Germany/SS/

It is slightly encouraging to see the Constabulary acknowledge a problem with the training of their constables. This is  indictive of I suspect a much  wider problem with police training througout the UK. It is clear than many constables and other ranks now consider themselves above the law and able to bully and victmise members of the public even resulting in deaths such as the newspaper seller Ian Tomlinson murdered by a police constable in a cowardly unprovoked attack.

Looking to the future. Such incidents are unlikely to be discouraged by a weak disciplinary response and consequent lack of accountability, the same logic applies to the billions in drug money laundered by crooked banks whose management remain unpunished despite their numerous sins. Nick a few bankers and watch the crime rate plummet faster than a JPMorgan employee from a rooftop. That is basic criminology, you would think that the senior management were aware.

With regard to reduced budgets, training and public statements one might think that police resources were being allocated carefully and selectively, not being wasted on happy clappy right on EU inspired courses about diversity and equality alas no.

Here is a cracking example of such waste from Lancashire Constabulary.

How well it fits the Common Purpose Communitarian model.

Why are they building networks of “trainers” ?

What of their goal of changing the way people think, what happens to peoples minds when that process goes wrong ?

Is this sort of “training” related in some way to incidents of seemingly irrational behaviour and high rates of sickness in the police  ?

A Training Business designed to make a difference

Our business is influenced by our strongly-held beliefs, which are as follows:

Everyone has untapped potential that can be developed – for the fulfilment of the individual, the benefit of their employer and the improved contribution to their community.

• Everyone has untapped potential that can be developed – for the fulfilment of the individual, the benefit of their employer and the improved contribution to their community.
• Developing the whole person (not just the parts of them that come to work) means that change is integrated into people’s personal lives and so is sustained and more productive.
• It is perfectly possible to run a successful business in an ethical and environmentally-friendly way and we constantly strive to do so.
• It is essential, as well as desirable, that we ‘walk the talk’ in that we put everything we talk to others about into practice in our own personal and professional lives.
• By working together in a collaborative network of trainers, we can make a bigger impact.

Well people like myself busted a gut and  tried to warn you of the insidious  rise of the police state and the Common Purpose infiltrators. However you the asleep servile gimps that comprise a significant percentage of the British public. You that pathetically stare night after night into your 42 inch wide screen idiots lanterns hiding away from reality  with your  electronic valium comfort system. You are reassured by Mommy tell lie vision  that everything is normal and you remain asleep. You cowardly deluded fools.

Now we all live in a Orwellian police state that can forgive itself of any crime including murder thanks to your asquiesence ingnorance and contrition.

Freedom you don’t deserve it.
